In the texts are quite often lists of ascetics and yogis, but they are usually shallow (see Note III, 7). CHAPTER IV THE TRIUMPH OF YOGA YOGA AND IIINDUISMO We can continue, both in literature and in didactic and religious parties of the Epic, the gradual penetration of Yoga practice., regarded as an excellent way of salvation. It would be difficult to determine the stages of this penetration, which ultimately lead to almost total conquest of Indian spirituality in Yoga ism Let's just say that we are in contact with works whose redaction is situated in the period from the fourth century BC and the fourth century AD. But an interesting fact, approached from another point of view, is the coincidence of this triumph of yogic practices in the em-bids irresistible popular mystical devotion. Indeed, the installation of yoga technique in the very heart of Hinduism took place in a crisis of orthodoxy that is, at the precise moment that this valid in conjunction mystical movements "sectarian". During its expansion, Brahmanism had to accept, as every religion victorious, on the other hand, an amount-ing elements which initially showed extrafios, if not hos-tile. The assimilation of the indigenous religious forms, pre-Aryan, begins very early, from Vedic times (this is the case, for example, of the god Shiva). But this time, ie, early medieval India (during the period from the flowers "-ing of Buddhism to Bfiagavad-Gita), assimilation takes on disturbing proportions. Sometimes one has the impression of a revolution victorious, to which the Brahmin orthodoxy can not do anything but lean. What we call "Hinduism" data from the time, in part still unknown in the ancient Vedic pantheon is eclipsed by the enormous popularity of Shiva, Vishnu or one of Krishna. Here we could not profitably study the causes of this transformation deep and broad. However, ob-served that one of the main causes of this transformation was precisely the need experienced by the masses of poor neighborhoods, a more concrete religious experience, a mystical devotion easily accessible, intimate, personal. However, traditional practices yogis (folk, baroque, unsystematic) ofe-eian just a mystical experience of the genre: neglecting the rituals and theological science facts relied almost immedi-ing, concrete, yet not entirely disengaged from its physiological substrate. Obviously, this increasingly deep penetration of the techniques yogis in dej6 orthodoxy and find some resistors. They rose cries, sporadically, contrary to the propaganda of ascetics and "wizards", who pretended that he could not get the final liberation (mukti), m the "hidden powers" (siddhi) rather than embracing the disciplines of they. It is natural that this resistance was expressed in the first term in official circles of orthodox
